FG To Begin Last Evacuation Of Stranded Nigerian Fans In Russia (pics) by Magichand(op): 11:18pm On Jul 29, 2018
The Federal Government has assured that it would soon commence the last evacuation of Nigerian football fans stranded in Russia after 2018 World Cup Tournament.
The Embassy of Nigeria in Moscow, Russia, said this in a statement made available to newsmen by its First Secretary, Mr Desmond Nwosu, on Sunday in Abuja.
Nwosu urged the stranded fans to report at the Embassy for registration on July 30th, while the mission awaits flight information.
“In line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to bring all stranded Nigerian fans who visited Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup back home, the government of Nigeria will carry out the last evacuation soon.
“Consequently, the Embassy of Nigeria in Moscow is requesting all Nigerians with fan ID and Nigerian passport to report to the embassy on Monday July 30, for registration,” he said.
Newsmen recall that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had said that 75 out of 230 stranded Nigerian Football fans absconded in Russia after the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The ministry’s Spokesperson, Dr Tope Fatile, said the fans absconded in spite of government’s efforts to repatriate them.
Fatile said that 230 stranded Nigerian football fans were profiled to board Ethiopian Airline to Abuja but at the last minute, only 155 boarded the flight that arrived Abuja on July 22.
He said that though they had the rights not to come back but it would be better for them to return because of the unfavorable weather in that country.
He said that if, however, they repented and decided to come back, the ministry was ever ready to assist them.
Fatile said that the federal government was ever willing to assist Nigerians at anytime, anywhere in the world.

The 500k they used in going to that Russia to sleep in the cold can start up a barbing salon, laundry shop and game centre. Instead, they decided to go and waste away in a foreign land.

Now that they're back, the FG should carry them from the airport straight to Kebbi let them go and plant rice. Let them work for the money FG used in repatriating them.

That the Nigerian govt is trying to rescue them should tell you something. You don't just want to be an illegal immigrant in Russia. Russia is not Western Europe,
they don't care at all. There's absolutely nothing like pardon or asylum. Nobody will employ an illegal alien and you definitely don't want to be out in the cold when winter starts.

FTC, thank God for this massive achievement. a lot of people battle for this position for years without being successful, but I obtain favour today. I thank Glo for their improvement with internet speed recently, I thank my thumb for typing really fast this morning. a lot of enemies here will still try to claim I'm not the FTC on this thread, because they're be clouded with so much hate which has blinded their eyes from seeing this wonderful achievement of mine. to my village people that thought I won't be able to obtain this... I said NTOR.
Thanks to my sweetheart for her support towards this achievement, I thank her for those words of encouragement... [..."offpoint my baby keep trying you'll make it someday"] I can still hear her tiny voice in my head. Thanks baby, we've made it.

Guys no suffer una sef, Christians From Nigeria Can Claim Political Asylum


Many western countries have a law that if u suffer from religious persecutions you can claim asylum.

It's high time govt start disowning these people that'll travel to some country and looking for their way back. Who sold them one-way ticket? Abi na only them they suffer here ni? Shey dem no dey see people asking "which business can I start with N500" here on nairaland? Dem go con carry N500k to travel on a journey of probability.
